Egypt's Omar Suleiman cracks a Hizballah (Iranian) network
Neither Cairo nor Tehran is saying out loud that the 49 men, including seven Israeli citizens and one Lebanese citizen, arrested by Egyptian security forces on charges of supporting Hamas and Hezbollah, were the tip of a clandestine Iranian iceberg.
A major Iranian network has been going strong for three years, dug into Egyptian Sinai and the cities along the Suez Canal. It is a major link in Tehran's clandestine chain all the way to Sudan and Eritrea and the key to its arms smuggling route for Hamas.

North Korean ballistic missile takes off unimpeded
A North Korean long-range rocket lifted off from its coastal Musudan-ri launch pad early Sunday, March 5. Flying over Japan it appears to have splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. When it came to the crunch, no one tried to intercept the North Korean rocket.
